There are men who argue that
living is high but they might try
dying A live man gets shaved for
ten cents but a dead one pays a do

overcoat cost 25 but a wooden
one costs 100 A grave digger will
plant potatoes for twenty cents an
hour but for planting you he gets
four times as much A carriage to
he theatre costs 2 but one to the
cenfetcry cost S3 A saloon keeper
will fill your hide to bursting for 50
cents but an embalmer gets 7 50
for the job Come to think of it
there are lots of things left to live

First Christmas Observance
Christmas gets its name from the
mass celebrated in the early days of
the Christian Church in honor of
the borth of Christ its first solemn
ization having been ordered by Pope
Telesphorus This was in or be
fore the year 128 for in that year
Pope Telesphorus died
At first Christmas was what is i
known as a movable feast just as
Easter is now and owing tomilis
understandings was celebrated as
lute as April or May In the fourth
century an eclesiastical investigation
was ordered and upon the author
ity of the tables of the censors in
the Roman archives December 25th
was agreed upon as the date of the
Saviors nativity Tradition fixed
the eonr of His birth at about mid
night and this led to the iclebra

churches a secondmtt dawn and a

Why does Great Britten buy
its oatmeal of us
Certainly it seems like carrying
coals to Newcastle to speak of export
ing oatmeal to Scotland and yet every
year the Quaker Oats Company sends
Hundreds of thousands of cases of
Quaker Oats to Great Britian and
urope
uropeThe reason is simple while the
English and Scotch have for centuries
eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a
regularity that has made them the
most rugged physically and active
mentally of all people time American
has been eating oatmeal and trying all
the time to improve the methods o f
manufacture so that he might get that
desirable foreign trade
How well he has succeeded would
be seen at a glance at the export re
ports on Quaker Oats This brand is
without a rival is packed in regular
